Completely Random On 2014!

Well, that was it. It's all over. If there were something you meant to do in 2014 and you didn't quite manage to get around to it, well then... you just didn't do it. Of course you can still do it in 2015 and as we get set to look forward to all of the amazing and ridiculous things that the new year will surely have to offer, we still look back on what was a remarkable year for the music and one which will not quickly (or slowly) be forgotten. Let's get it started as we look at the highlights and maybe even a lowlight or two of the past year, as we go Completely Random on 2014!

Verse of The Year
"This is a Haile salutation to all the world nation
Failure fi overstand seem on di brink of devastation
World need redemption, a sound mediation
Medication, mediation
Fi bring more balanced stands and rest in all di land
BEFORE NUCLEAR PRETENSE WAS NUCLEAR ASPIRATION
The root of the thought - as a method of deterrence, but with adverse results all to encourage all the strong
AND THE POSITIVE, AND THE NEGATIVE AND THE NEUTRAL MARCH ALONG
AND THE ONE THREAD OF I-MANITY PASS THROUGH EVERYONE
WORLD NEED SOME CONSCIENCE TO BE FAIR TO WOMAN
Just watch your family and regard them as one
Same I ah one"
-Verse two from 'Same I Ah One' featuring Pressure by Midnite
